Is Evolution a science or a faith?

[Bad Wolf]

Still no evidence of these faults with evolution? At least post the link to the thread.

I already posted it on this thread and it was discussed for a couple pages on how scientists have made numerous mistakes on their claims for evolution, mistakes that are still believed to be true by the masses to this day.

Even presuming that to be true, making a mistake doesn't disprove evolution. Evolution is a fact and the ToE seeks to explain it.

Theorising a hypothesis and then testing it to verify/falsify it is the bedrock of there scientific method.

I'm not entirely sure why you guys don't quite grasp this very simple and easy to understand concept.

Here's something that will blow your mind. Even if the current ToE was proven to be 100% false, that still wouldn't disprove evolution. Indeed, to do that, you'd have to come up with a viable alternative to evolution as an explanation to the observed fact of how species evolve and adapt to environments. To date, I am not aware of a single alternative.

Evolution has been observed and tinkered with to such a degree that pointing to mistakes scientists have made and the public have latched onto as "overwhelming contrary evidence" is roughly the same as claiming there's overwhelming contrary evidence against the claim that the Earth is a three dimensional shape because the public believes the common shorthand that the earth is round when it's actually an oblate spheroid. It's a pedantic nothing argument that would be utter madness if we were to take it seriously.

I'm assuming that you consider the contrary evidence so obvious that you neglected to present any of it in support of your assertion.

Lets simplify this, are you saying that evolution does not occur? Every species has stayed exactly the same?

Even if you could point to mistakes made in the scientific study of evolution it doesn't change the fact that things evolve. The only way you could uncover mistakes made in the theory of evolution is to actually study evolution and make the corrections via more science.

Lets do an easy example, If we are standing on top of a building and we just findout that scientists had made an error on the theory of gravity, would you then conclude that gravity is only faith based and jump of the building?

you can have "faith" in science and you can have "faith" in religion. If you have "blind" faith in either alone you will come up short. Until we learn more that is. I have "faith" that we will know one day, all that we can know.

What or where did the word "faith" start. It seems like it is the word " I hope ... "

As for the question posed in the OP: I'd say if you have to ask, the subject will probably be too hard for you.
